Holocaust Survivor Speaks to Students
Helen Sperling Emotionally Recounts Persecution, Life Story
BY KAT E PREZIOSI
M•rHn-Nrws Suff
UL!t Wedne,chy, April 16, Holocaust survivor Htlen Sperling
came to Colgate to speak with
studen ts about her apcricnccs in
Naz.i G ermany and World War
II. She wore a t-shin that rc.iid
"Colgatc" in Hcbr~, which was
given to her thirty years ago, the
first time she vi.sited campus to
discuss the things she endured.
Sperling began wi1h a descrip•
rion of her early life in a small
town near Warsaw.
.. I was very well loved, very
spoiled, very independent," she
said in a low voice that convcycd
both nostalgia and regret. • w e
knew what was going on in the
world, but we didn't want to be·
licvc, to sec the truth. Not even
after we heard abo ut what was
happening to the Jews in G cuna•
ny did we think it would come
to us. Hitler was jus t a man with
a liule mustache who yelled a lot
and people would yell wirh him.
We 1hought he would disappear.
In 1939, when the Germans
walked into my little home1own.
we realized it was here ..,
She described one vivid
m em ory she has of three young
Germans coming rn her home
to look for gold . They went into
the linen closet that her mother
so carefully kept, pulling out
rowels and barking orders. One
of them sa1 i n her father's chair,
and Sperling recalled watching
her father's stature shrink.
.. I want to tell you some of the
thinp: Germans told pwple about
Jews," Sperling said. "All the Jews
were diny, and then we were lazy.
We wcre par:asitcs, we did not
know how to work, and the Ger..
mans were going to teach w how
to work...
She explained the two cat·
cgorics that Jewish people were
placed under. The Good Jews
were the young and the strong,
while the Bad Jews were older
people, disabled children and
pregnant women .
"From the ~inning they told
us thai people who would work,
the Good Jews, would protect
their f.amil ics," she said . .. So the
rush for jobs was unbeliCvitblc.

She spoke abour how people
were beaten at random, and if
they were bruised the foUow·

up to others and ask if they were

LETTER TO THE EDITOR
BY T IANTONG YU
CJ,u, •/2011
Aft:c.r re:1ding some of 1hr·Maroon·Ne,vs comments on Tibetan issue, I was compelled to
write something as: Chinese international student. I have never been interC$tcd in politics
and doubt th~t J wiJJ ever be. That is why J could always smile at the issue of'"Free libet" as
a Chinese, as long as it is di.sclUStti "politically." However, the rcpons from major \V'estcm
media on the recent riots in Tibet have suddenly shaken my beliefs. Pictures taken in Ne·
pal were labded as "Chinese police arrested Tibetan monks;" an ambulance with Chinese
char.1ctcrs "'First Aid" became a police ar in the reporters' hands; part of a picmre was cut
in order to describe a policeman prou:cting passengers as suppressing protcst0rs. Are 1h~
the truth.seeking Western media I have always believed in? Is this the American dcmocrac)'
1hat I have always cheered for? Is the "Tiberan Jssuc" really still at a polilical le\ el? I could
not fail to associa,e main.scream Western media's concerted stance on this issue with the
widespread "pro-libe1 and ami•China"' sentiments 1 have ob~rvcd in America. In fact.
this is no longer an "issue," because the concepts such as '"China invaded libct," ..China's
cuhural genocide"' and "Chinese people :arc all brain.washed" Sttm to have already become
hard fuel& deeply embedded in the minds of many Amercians.
l have no in1cn1ion to argue whe,her China has invaded Tibet, as it requirt-s historians
to cxtcnsivtly study and evaluate the coumless interactions between these two polidcaJ.
economic, cultural and religious entities. in a timeframe of 2.000 years. I also dare not
triAc with 1he subject of ..culmral genocide," because 1 have a difficult time unders1.1nding
the mcaning of "'genocide" mysd( (Manchurians '"physically" invaded China 400 ye-ars
ago bm it was already culturally assimilated, or "invaded"". Should I say Chinese pc.-oplc
purposely committed such a "cultural" genocide as they wielded a powerful weapon c-alle-d
culture.? Cuhurc, after all. is nothing like guns which could be udliu.-d at will, or like hu·
man beings that could be e-asily manipula1ed to switch sides.) \Vhat disturbed me most was
when my schoolmate directly asked me "why did you Chinese people invaded 'Jibct"' or
when my own school newspa~r printed lines such as" Dalai La.nu was exiled 10 India after
China's invasion of"Dbct in 1he 1950s,. in such a matter·of-F.tct way. Also, if 1 ever tric.-d 10
defend China, I would be labeled as "having b«n brainwashed; or perhaps I havt alrtady
been defined this way from the very beginning.
I came to America for colJege because I w.iS unsatisfied with China because of its cduca·
tion system, its government and even part of its culture. I admired America b«au~ of its
legal system, ics individualism and freedom. But what I s« in rcalify is that when it comes
to an issue tuch as Ti~. most Chinese people 11rt often misunderstood. prejudiced against
and arbitrarily diagnosed as people who have been brainwashed by an alJ.c-vil communist
parry. Bur at rhe same time, I also felt sorry fo r those Americans because rhey have been
presented only one side of a picture, for a long time. Have you ever seriously listened to the
Chincsc side of the story about Tibet? You probably have rejected this question simply on
the grounds that the Communist Pany is not trust·wonhy. 8u1 have you ever askc.-d your·
self why you have such beliefs wi1hout any personal interaction with any communist party
even in the slightest degree? Do you have such beliefs because your parents or grandparcnc·s
said so? Do you have such be-liefs because you have heard all the charges from a St-ate..ofUnion address or an article bragging about humanitarianism? If so. then when something
you always believed in, such as BBC and CNN, turned out 10 be not that trustworthy, at
least in some sp«ific cases as I pointed out at the beginning of this article, would you re·
evaluate some of you.r belie&, and listen to voices from some outside sources?
Americans read Niensche because of hi.s promotion of individualism. So, isn't it pa·
rhctic that many people arc taken hostage by imposed social valucs without realizing it? Let
us mum 10 the issue ofTibet. Isn't it unreasonable 10 take every opinion as truth without
thinking? Isn't it ir-rc.spon.sible for 11,r Maroon·Nrws to dcpic, Tibet in :a definitive w.1y
before any conclusion on this concrovtrsial issue could be rc.1.chcd?

Common Courtesies ofSPW
C:Ommon councs:ics arc imponant to re,.
member everywhere; )'studcnlS panaking in the revelries of Spring
Pany Weekend, the basic rules ofconduct srill
apply. And whil, )"()U may foci as thouglt your
rccoUcaion or that of your friends i, rcally the
best measure of your behavior, k«p in mind
othus may remember your aaions d.iffcrcntly.
For a few mas though a few rI. ExC<$$ive swearing, By the time you
reach coUegc, it's safe 10 say everyone knows
all the bod wotds. You can probobly find a
diny word to correspond ro every letter of the:
alphabOver-using them, however, makes )"()U appear
as though you have very little else to say and
after a, time, they lose thc:ir cffeaivcness. If a
blccpcd word is occuning withln each one of
your sentence,, grab a dictionary and go buy
a bar ofsoap.
2. Spitting, We've gone over this before. Ar
I= rdiain while indoon.
3. Scowling, Why some pc,ople oonron
their f.r.ces into such unfonunatc cxprcu:ions,
I shall never understand. Smile more; it costs
nothing. Furthermore. if it's some ar,empted
indication of your social prowtsS or general
coolness, ~ over yourself The ground i,
public space and all may walk on it. If )"()U
arc rcally sclf.~u.rcd, someone else emcring
your rclati,-c spherical bubble won't interfere
with your 'vibe" or whate-.·er you may choose
to caU it.
4. Public exposure. Urination is punishable as an offense is many mas, dependent
upon local ordinance. Consider thi, practice
for your later life as a corporarc lawyer and
find a restroom. Other lewd behavior should
b< savish innocent pcdcsrrian, with PDA

s,om u,or
Two Thwsdays ::1,go, when the cemperarurcs were still ,opping in the k,w 50s and chc
wind w.u stlll biting at everyone's f.tccs, mf buddy Mau, one of my best friends.at Colgate,
tcxted me to $CC if] wanted to play catch. Any day when the sun is om and the wind chill
is above freez ing is a good enough day for me to play outside, so I agreed to meet him down
or Whito.U Field. Although I just expecced co coss the b.U around on thu day. Man threw
down a bombshell that left me stunned.
' I'm thinking about caldng off'; he said.
Taking off: :as l soon found out, mca.nt tra.nsferring to his local state university. A week
alter I p icked up my jaw off the ground, l auemptcd to cry and convince Mau lo nay, but
a.II of my efforts were fruidC$S. Tums ouc cha.l h e had some legic reasom co leave, and in all
honesty, he$ making the right decision co transfer from Colgate.
Bul hcrei the catch. As I'm writing this, Matt i, roughly 36 houB aw.iy from leaving

any arguments about whether Eli Manning is a great NFL quarterback or ooc (who was

ic seems a, though the grc.ucst people, momenu and events ln our lives socm cxu.aordlnarily
finite. People can leaYC ow lives in an instanc. Friendships and other tw.dond\Jps cau end at the

thac w,, shouldn'c try and take fur granred the good things and people w,, h:ive in our Ufc.
This of cows, can be cranslaced into our Colgace live, coday. I mean, think abouc all the
things we take for granted each day at chl.s school. Nowhere else wlll we be surrounded by a
couple chowand people our own :age. Nowhere else will we~ able to walk home at 3 a.m.
on a Satwd.y night withouc even the dlghtc,t wony of belng mugged. Nowhere else will
we be surrounded by one of the most picturesque landscapes around. I know the latter f.ct

ambiguously fuwrc.-oriencecl right now. Cl:L'iSC'S arc beg.inning 10 talk abouc finals, plam for

scoragc uni ls ar,: being renled for the summer. It doesn't help that d,c sun ha.s miraculously
begun to ap~U\ and even to sc:1y in the sky. 11,c quad has bcco,m: a tanning, picnicking
and frisbce--throwing spot during 1--.cak houl'S. 111osc may be sten'bul the weather at \...olgate rarely permits thc:111 al this univcrsity. It hardly fitS imo my
mcmal image of Colgate. Sc-eing all the bc:at-h towels and shorts jus1 makes i1 sec:m like we
have moved poinl«lly il'llo summer.
So, it is difficuh not to fed like I've already come rn a turning point - die end of
my fres hman year. Bm I'm not reaJly s ure where th,u leaves n1e. I can already 1ell,
from higl1 .school experience and the 'sophom*ore' status I've hacl here of regi5tering
for classes and picking nex1 yt"ar's l,ousing, that it is a wonderful thing to not be a 6rs1
year srndem any longt'r. In some ways, I will eYen be an 'upperclassman'. BUI J am a
firm bdiever that you don't move on to the next grade umil 1ha1 school year b<-gins.
(I always found il nonsensical in high school how juniors would proclaim co instQnumeously become seniors after graduation, despite having a m omh lefL of school.) So
tha1 means I must be on the brink of wandering, lost, through a nameless stage 1.hat
comes inevitably with the onset of each summer. Those people who share my ideol~
ogy about waiting for tl1e new s.cmcster to claim 10 be a gr.1;de older will undcn,and
the awkward, middling answer of "'Next year I'll be a _ _ _• or "'I just finished my
___ year"' lo inquiries abou, school.
I'm not saying that it take$ oomc abundant amount of exc:ra energy tha1 way. but merely
that I spend chis time of year feding to be, in some aspects, without an identity. Everything noa.ble has just happened, or is lingering in the near future. All .-he s,orie.s a.re of
.,1-aSl year'. and aU expectations of more cxdting anecdotes arc for "'nex1 year". his bard 10
decide where: you arc "'supposeand home has been tO pcrfcaly spread out tha, every time you find your way back imo the
swing of ch.ings in one location, il is rime to go back ro .-he other.
Mlybc instead o( writing a painfully dkhf article about 'whai I learned d,is yea/,

d('$,Cfibcd my perplcxiry at the end of one $Ch oo! year. and the oommenccmem of time in

is .-hat, for all of us, another year h~ pa.sscd. Before we scan :u\Other semester 3t Colgate,
it is important that we take a rcspit,: from 1he imcnS<" weather and workJoad, even if that

arc to pick Huckabee or G iuliani, Huckab«
is an idiot with a dcsttUGtivc tax policy pro·

MicC-a.in to add anydling.
Hillary needs to stay away from 1nyonc

some unwritten rule: th:at you an't be run·

America is not ready to accept a woman and
a bl:ack man cogether. And thoK" l;\:\'0 aren't

Hillary is a bi- any of VP na:ds to add a softer; more approachable:

not convinced thu sitting on lhe s.iddines of a

poll wdl in che Soudt, panly boc.usc she's so
libc:ral. She ncxds someone to modaa.tc: her
im~e, possibly a soulhc:rn Dcmocru.
This nukes John Edwards a pos.-sibility.
He's young and popul:u with yow1ga voting

he might hdp Hillary pick up some of ,he
southern states. But tho.sc: states a.rc:n\ worth

to thdr l('adcrship team through thtir scp-.uatc involvcmt':nt
in distinc1 activities on cam pus; however, as Dorland
explained, they "complement c:u:h other tt-.1.lly well."
Sobdmin rc.-affirmcd Oorl-and's point, stating that ,hey

In their ini1iativt"s as SGA lt-adeu, Sobelman and
Dorla.nd explained 1ha1 they wanted to be, '"advocates for
student interests." and continued. on this point, dcscdbing
1hat the importance of connecting SGA to studcms so
1hat 1hcre is, ·a sense that if swdcms have a concern that
rcson;ues, we will 1.akt action."'
Besides creating a d iscourse between SGA and the
studt nt body, they wanted to enabli$h communicadon
between the faculty and administration. Sobe.Iman
explained that he and Dorland fe lt that it was necessary
to, "'work with Colga1e rather against it," because
cooperation would allow for the two to be betcer
advocates fo r student interests.

involvement made me more ac tive," Dorland said.
·[The SGAJ helped me reconnect with the c2mpus and
provided an inlet ha.ck into the mainstream campus."
In her description of 1he unique value of her senior year,
Dorland touched on 2 larger point th.ti ~nated with both
her and Sobelman: the need to connect with other students.

Should Joba Chamberlain be a
SUrtt'.r or rt.main in the bullpen?
Those bas,ball experts and
scouts who bdievt'. Joba should stay
in the bullpen make some convinc-ing arguments. Most people f.lmil•
iar with Joba claim that his srulf
and mind.set arc perfect for the

the long run.
Despite the strong arguments
for Joba staying in the buHpcn. at
least for now, some people (including Old Hank himself) continue to
stand by the Yankees original plan
to make Joba a Staner this year.
Joba ,cems to be the only c:andi·
dare for that job on their curtt.nt
ros'tcr. In New York ,where the
mamra is always "'Win Now," one
an'1 help but wonder whether Joba
is the missing componen1 10 getting another ring. With Manager
Joe Girardi already feeling some
lukewarm heat from Undc Hank
and with GM Bri:a.n Cashman on
thinner ice then some might think,
rhe temp tation co move Joba imo
the rot:uion will be great. While
upper management consistendy
denies tha1 a move could be in the
works in the near fmure, Hank's
insistence on the: move continues
to be the elephant in 1hc room.
\Vha1 th<" owner wams, 1hc owner

In the end, the Yankees' deci•
sion will come down t<> pa1icnce
versus competitiveness. lhe Yankees: would probably have a better chance at the title chis year if
they move Job.i to the roration,
but they could be making 1hc
wrong decision for 1he long term
by moving him now. The Yan·
Jcees have always been notorious
for making rash decisions and
after a 12~1 0 start, could easily
be poised to make another one.
I would sue:ss patience however,
.sin ce Brian Cashm:m's ph ilosophy switch this off-season would
not be consistent with yet another mortgaging of the Yanlcce.s
future. My advice would be to let
Joba dominate for at least ano1hcr
year in the bullpen and ,hen reevaluate next off'-season to at least
give him all of spring training to
prc:parc- should a change be: made.
This would not only protect Jo·
ba's arm and the Yankees future,
but it would also give ,he Yanks
the best reliever in the g'2me for a

if you aslc me.

day has gone by wichout confronting a new chaJlcngc, making anothf:r friend (Face•

our divtrsc experiences, we have all h.ad our share of food memories to look back
upon; personally. it has been the strong and lasting friendships that I have buih that

Unlike most scudcou, I was fortunate co enter Colgate knowing a few individuals,
particularly two dassmatcs from high school and a few mcmben of the South A,ian
community t hat J befriended during my April visit days. Even so, it still took some
time to fit in because of the eclectic nature of our student body. but once we settled
into ow dorms, met our fellow rcs1dcots and began classes shortly thereafter, I felt
more comfortable.
lhc single most important factor that a.I lowed me to feel at case, especia.lly early on,
was compatibility and common interests among those I met. h's a qualicy that we a.II
consider, perhaps subcon1ciously :u times, in different upects of our lives. 1he biannual Student Involvement Fair is possibly the b«t example of this process at work, as

BY KATIE ZARRELIA

Detr«t Col gt te,
For the past tlucc yea A, I have critici2«1. critiqued and utcmptcd to convalesce: your
decrepit fuhion «nsc. We've covered everything from h&U (,()U/urt to hangover chic, frcshman faux...pa.s to senior ttylei and tick ,neakcrt to ,exy .stilcuo,s:. I believe that my cffort,s:
have, on $Om: le:vcL paid otfbut I am highly concerned that Colgtte', fashion aesthetic
wilJ oonsidcrtbly dctcriontc upon my graduation . Who, may f uk. is g,oing to remind
you to wear four--inc.h pumps in a snow stonn? Who is going to wag her finger when your
,ungJ.,.., fail to ,wallow a good two-third, ofyour face and who clu will vocally and publically judg. you when you leave Jl'• looking like a collar-popping. Polo-cbd pumpkin/
That bdnguid. I feel it is nccasary to use this column u a crash course in the b ibJi ..
cal teachings of"Colgtte Couture." Ltt'.s .start with my biggest personal pet peeve, the
overly lackadtisial nudent. I know l*ve spent the put few columns commenting on
corrupt fashion politia, ,andtlous linge rie and the complete and utter di.saster that wu
the Oscari. but I~ like to remind you that any rn~nation of .$Wett.ihiru, sweatpants
and pajamu LS still not an out6t, I do not care how ltte you may be for your 9:20 or
how much you drank the night before.his never ok to .stumble into class, the libnry or
anywhere else in the groter Hamilton area looking like you j ust rolled out of bed . P leue
invest in, pair of jcan.s, a , k:Jrc. a ball gown; anything that will mak.c you look like the
opposite of a degenerate.
My next concern i, the over~the~top prep look. We get it, you own a hou.se on The
Vineyard, you're a proud ,cotcb-drinking c:igar~:molcing member of Bet2 Theta Pl and
you're probably from Connecticut, but unle.s..s you're a professional croquet player who',
double majoring in clambake.sand charity golf tournament,. you have uro eiu;uses for
.strutting around campus resembling a madru ..wearing Easter egg. A, an alternative to
the country,club,chic look so many of you have mattered, I sugge.st you expand your
horhons and wear black. All black. If you so desire, you may supplement your new look
with a fch fedora, .suspenders and, of coune, a constant look of apathy.
In the ume vein, I'm not entirely sure when thi, Lilly Puliu.er paired with Way..
fucrs look kicked in, but it·, an oxymoron and h'.s com•
plctely absurd. I'm at 1 lo$$ ts to how someone an take
,omcthing inherent to the Williamsburg.I Lower Ent Side
Hip.ster culture and incorporate it into a WASP•tutic en ..
.semble. Plcuc under.stand, I 1m in no w•y ,ugge.sting that
you ,hould not wen sunglu,cs; quite the contrary. You
,hould wear ,unglU$e$ every ,econd of every da)'t whe thcr
you're in.side, in a thundcrnorm or taking the LSAT; how~
ever, if you insist on maintaining your preppy look. you

If I were allowed more space, I would go on for pages,
volumes even, but since there trc apparently other people
who write for the MIITorm,N,ws, this will be our Jut point
of discuuion : footwear. Why the Ugg,. Why the Rainbow,
and why the J .Crew Rip Aops. You arc not an Eskimo. You
ITC not on the beach. You arc not to wear the aforemen ..
tioncd atrocities on your feet. Ladies: ,aleuos, Chanel~

not really mlde for vnlking, but they arc made to make club chic status quo.
your feet look dclidou.s, so I suggest multiple pa in of each. - yhotocowta.sy of yro.corbl.J.com
C cntl.etnen: I do not ace nearly enough wing tip oxfords,

Some of the thing:s I've nid may offend you. Some of the things I've nid may not ap•
ply to you. Mon of the things I've said tre complctcty outrtgcou, and that, my friends,

Katharine K Zarrella became heavily involved in the Ant her junior yctr at Colgate. An English major with a minor
in Art and ht Histo~ Zarrdla developed a passion for abstnct metal ,culpture her freshman year of high ,chool. Her
love affair with blow torches and ttccl wu rekindled in the Fall of 2006 when .she enrolled in Profd$10r Dewitt Godfrcy'.s
Sculprnre I c:oun:e. Her final piece, a welded steel cube with reacbint twined trill$;, marktd the be~nning of her &,ci ..
nu ion with geometry and the poetry of the OJ be. This: olm.ssion only grew and the following year, she installed "'t,000

delidous arorra of cancer and nicotine. Above the toxic box Aashed 1,000 digital pbotognph, Zarrella had ttken to dol':u..
